Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) & Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA)  are injectable medications approved by FDA that help smooth out certain types of wrinkles.

​The main difference between Xeomin and Botox has to do with the formulation. Xeomin is a “naked” neurotoxin. That is, Xeomin contains only a single ingredient (botulinum toxin A), while the formulation of Botox includes various protective proteins clustered around the active molecule. The benefit of Xeomin’s pure-form means users have a lower chance of developing resistance (antibodies) that can limit its desired effects.
